Mission Day
This week the whole school took part in our Mission Day around the Gospel Value of ‘Purity and Holiness’. A range of activities considered various elements of Catholic Social Teaching and what it means to be a positive influence in the world. We reflected on this Gospel value as encouraging people to become ‘wholly’ themselves rather than be distracted by other influences. It was a great day with lots to think about.
Year 9 Day of Reflection
Year 9 also had their Day of Reflection this week. The theme for the day was ‘We are God’s work of art’, and included workshops where they created art pieces based around their unique fingerprints. There were other workshops on the ‘Big Questions’ in life and how to make Self-Care a part of our daily routine. We were joined on the day by the Shrewsbury Youth Mission Team who led a workshop looking forward to Year 10, thinking about what to take forward and what to leave behind. It was a wonderful day and thanks to the Youth Mission Team and all the staff who supported our students on their day.
On Monday 18th July 2022 at 6pm, we celebrate the return of Sports Presentation Evening. All students who have represented the school this academic year are invited to attend and will receive a certificate for their contributions to school sport. Furthermore, those who have represented the school in four or more sports will receive a badge for their efforts.

Dylan Carney in Year 12 represented Cheshire in the highly prestigious English Schools Athletics Championships. He was competing in the 800m against the very best U18 (Dylan would have been a year younger than many of his competitors) runners across the country. He finished 14th overall and was the top Cheshire athlete to finish.
Last Wednesday, our Year 9 leaders helped out with St Mary’s Sports Day. They showed great leadership skills and thoroughly enjoyed being part of the day. Thank you for having us St Mary’s.
